"The Cazenovia and Canastota Railroad started operations in 1868 and stopped service in 1873 for a total period of operations of 5 years.
After the Civil War railroads exploded in the US with hundreds of lines starting service all over the country. This was the the age of steam locomotives and rail travel was still a luxury."
